What's the difference between rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty?
Wuhan Union Medical College Plastic Surgery, a department of a tertiary public hospital, has been focusing on plastic surgery for 50 years!

Rhinoplasty: Common nasal deformities such as saddle nose, low nose, straight nose, humpback, aquiline nose, nasal hypertrophy, nasal defect, nasal deformity after congenital cleft lip operation, median cleft nose, etc. Can be improved by rhinoplasty. Some people don't have these problems. In order to pursue perfection, they can also achieve the desired effect through rhinoplasty.

Both rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty can be attributed to subordination. Rhinoplasty is a broad concept, including rhinoplasty.

Whether it is rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty, the subjects need to make some necessary preparations before:

1. Fully understand the general knowledge of rhinoplasty, and get a preliminary understanding of what may happen during and after rhinoplasty. Don't blindly seek medical treatment, so as not to cause adverse consequences.

2. Be psychologically prepared, choose reliable doctors and hospitals (welcome to 3A public hospitals), have confidence in the operation, eliminate fear and actively cooperate with doctors.

3. There was no infection focus before operation, such as folliculitis, furuncle, acne, acute eye inflammation, sinusitis, rhinitis, nasal vestibular furuncle, etc. So as not to increase the chance of infection.

4. Don't make up before the operation, so as not to affect the doctor's judgment on the actual situation.

Surgery is the main method of nasal plastic surgery. The difference is that there are many methods of rhinoplasty. You can use your own materials and tissue substitutes to reshape the nose.

Autologous cartilage material: costal cartilage, nasal septum cartilage or ear cartilage.

1. Costal cartilage is very thick, which is used to cushion the bridge of the nose, stretch the nose column and support the alar.

2. The cartilage of nasal septum can be used as the material of downward extending nasal column and tip.

3. Ear cartilage is mainly used to correct nasal tip formation and alar collapse.

Tissue substitutes: solid silica gel, artificial bone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, Medpor material, hyaluronic acid.

Solid silica gel: a commonly used rhinoplasty material, polymer silicide, has the advantages of good biocompatibility, stable physical and chemical properties, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic and low price, but there may be some complications.

Artificial bone material: hydroxyapatite is the main inorganic component of human bone tissue, which has good biocompatibility, but it is difficult to take out and has little clinical application.

Expansibility (e-pTFE): An organic fluoropolymer, which has the advantages of stable physical and chemical properties, oxidation resistance, high temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, non-toxicity, good compatibility, porous materials, self-organized growth and so on, and can be pruned at will. Widely used in clinic, the effect is good.

Medpor material: high density polyethylene biomaterial. Intraoperative incision, suture and fixation. Similar to e-pTFE.

Hyaluronic acid: cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which can be extracted from driving plants or synthesized by bioengineering.

Advantages: simple operation, no anesthesia, no surgical incision, injection molding and little pain.

Disadvantages: 1 Due to uneven injection, the appearance of silica gel tumor is uneven.

Whether it is rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty, the recipient needs to find a regular qualified hospital and experienced doctor to reduce postoperative risks and complications. I hope everyone who loves beauty can have a satisfactory result!
